His Commitments Protest.
Special to the Globe.

REDWOOD FALLS. Feb. 6.-Representa-
tive J. n. Jones, of this county, will do
we'll to stay away from his constituents for
time. To say that they are satisfied with
the stand their representative has taken on
the high license bill, now pending before
legislature, would come far from the truth.
Redwood county is in favor of the bill with
large majority. The village during
1886, had a low license council, but at the
recent election, held early in January. the
tide was turned in the other direction with
a good majority. The new council has
already taken steps toward adopting strin-
gent measures for the control of the liquor
traffic. High license was not made
special issue In the campaign, but it was a
plank in the Republican platform. upon
which Mr. Jones stood, and which he went
to the legislature pledged to support.
Farmers DO Not Complain.
Special to the Globe.
STEELE, OAK, Feb. 6.-The weather
this season has caused all old-timers to
keep perfectly quiet, and the old ''gag'
about chow it was in the seventies" is heard
no more. Still there is no material COM
plant by the farmers, and the heavy fall of
snow gives renewed hopes to them for an
immense crop of No. l hard wheat, for
which this country is so famous. The
trains are delayed each way, although not
longer at any time than twenty-four hours.

NEW YORK, September GA schooner
was blown to pieces in the lower bay thi.
afternoon by a dynamite projectile hurled
from the Zalinski pneumatic gun. There
were present TO witness the experiment.
Secretary Whitney, members Of the ordi.
nance committee from Washington and
several hundred invited guests. The
schooner for the purpose was anchored OF
Bath Beach, the gun being planted at Fort
Lafayette, a mile and a half distant. The
trial began with the firing of several blank
cartridges, followed by the shot which de-
molished the vessel. The dynamite pro-
Jectile went through the air like a rocket.
With a rocket-like sizz, it struck the water
10 or IL feet from the side of the vessel,
ana In q moment there was no mora
schooner. There was g tremendously high
narrow column Of water shot skyward,'
and then a confused mass Of yreckaoe
hoating aroung. Something seemed fo
hold together, for about half the foremast
continued 10 stick up ont of the shaIIov

that a schooner had been there a moment
before.

A mountainous country is always hard
to develop, lacking extensive waterways,
the great primary developers, but neverthe-
less railroads could be built on the slopes
and plateaus and through the gaps. Our
dispatches from Knoxville contained a few
weeks ago = list OF projects in Eastern
Tennessee and adjoining districts either
under survey or under contract embracing
more thanS, 600 miles of track. Important
extensions have been planned or are al
ready in process of construction in Eastern
Kentucky. The timber and mineral
treasures of the mountain region have at
attracted the capital which is to he ex-
pended in this work, and the cities are
freely contributing their money fer the
support of the companies.
Why should not West Virginia receive
the same attention? Why should our man
ufacturers not get their raw material right
out of their " State, instead Of paying
other localities for it-Pittsburg, for in
stance, whose capitalists are now shooting
lines of road into the upper counties Of
West Virginia?
By no means the least important result
to the lower counties, OF the building OF
roads in their especially neglected region
would be the increase and enlightenment
of the inhabitants. There are over a score
of counties in West Virginia that are not
reached by railroads or telegraph wires.
The Chesapeake and Ohio road passes
through the centre of the State, but there
are no tributary railways to speak of. New
roads would serve as commercial mission
aries to transform gradually but surely the
character of the secluded villages. The
little world on the highlands and noun
tain slopes would soon learn something
about the great world that surrounds it,
and a new population, brought in by the
industries which the railroads would de
yelop and serve, would be an infusion OF
new blood and be of incalcuiable benefit.
There is in these counties a great deal OF
very raw material yet to be cooked on the
railroad gridirOn.

The Democratic Candidate Discusses the
SituatiOn-Forakers' SHub.
PITTsBURG, September 21.-Gen. ThOs,
E Powell, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, was in the city this
morning for a few minutes. He was re-
turning from Philadelphia TO Columbus.
Mr.. Powell seemed to be very well sat,
isied with the political outlook in his
State, aud in referring 10 the situation,
said: The prospects for the success OF
| the Democratic ticket in Ohio this fall are
daily Frightening as the election draws
nearer. The party is at the present time
in better condition III Ohio than it has
been for years past. Its members will all
work together during the campaign and
| will show a united front on election day.
| The labor vote, it was feared at the begin,
ming of the campaign, might have an un-
favorable affect upon the vote of thu party,
hut from the outlook at present. it will not
affect the party one-third "a much a. was
anticipated. In Hamilton county, where
the labor vote is The strongest, it will be
equally divided between the two parties. "
The Democratic nominee was decided in
his opinion that Governor Foraker did not
receive praise from NJ least q portion Ofthe
residents of Ohio for the stand he took in
defense of the rights of veteran soldiers as
against Cleveland's rebel llg order. He
said while conversirg on this topic: Gov
ernOr FOraker's popularity is on the wane.
A year ago he was q very popular man,
but his rebel u]tteranCes have been too in
tense 20 please even many OLD soldiers.
This will undoubtedly lose him many
votes. As regards the story that has been
published about Mrs. Cleveland %snubbing
him and Mrs. Foraker at the COuStitu-
tiOnal Centennial, it seems that Gov
ernor Foraker has iutimated that he was
snubbed. This admission that he was
suuhbed is evidently made for political
capital. 1t looks very much as though be
and his wife had started from Columbus to
Philadelphia with chips on their should
ers and were waiting to be snubbed. When
a person is looking tor q slight they can
usually fud it. As far as my opinion goes
l don't believe that any saub was iOteud-
ed or given by Mrs. Cleveland. She has
conducted herself at all times in 4 manner
beftting the first lady of the land.
"Cleveland's popularity in Ohio is Won
derful. 1t is not confined TO the Demo-
cratic party, but extends among the peo-
pie irrespective of party. So popular is
he that it is conceded that the Ohio DEM
ocracy will seud n solid delegation to the
National Convention for a denomination of

REPUBLICAN papers are blaming the
present stripgeucy in the money market
upon the Democratic administration. They
do this Just rs they would lay the failure
of the fruit crop at the doors Of the Demo
cratic party, if they thought the people
were ignorant enough to accept that eX-
PLANTATION. They take good care to forget
that if the Democratic administration had
followed the Republican example Of lock-
ing the money in the Treasury and keep
ing it there, the country would now be
in the throes Of a panic. They forget
that ifthe Demo. ratio administration were
to follow the Republican policy Of drain
ing the peoples pockets and piling the
peoples money up in the Treasury vaults,
that the panic would end in fearful dis
aster.
The present stringeucy is due to RePub-
lican Encouragement and robbery Of the
people in the past. The Democratic ad-
ministration is fastening to undo these
wrongs that are now becoming apparent to
all, and it will undo them in spite Of Re
publican opposition in Congress.

THE IateNjJrRcsr has a most remarkable
correspondent at Grafton. After a column
or so of stuff to show that GARRETT is a
Democrat, which GARRETT has q right to
be if he choose, he says:
That the Baltimore & Ohio-Or German
Garrett ring has controlled and dictated
the Democratic maiorities and Legislatures
of Maryland aud West Virginia has never
been-a secret.
Now here We have a piece OF intorma'
ton that is worthy of the pen Of our little
friend himself. As to the legislature OF
Maryland We cannot speak with such GER
tainty, bat if the B. 4 o. has been con
trolling and debating" to the Democratic
maiorities in the West Virginia Legisla-
ture, il should hasten to sub-let the job to
some one who understands the interests Of
that railroad a little better, since the
Democratic ~mnjorities in the Legislature
have, one after the other, ever since the b.
& D. first fastened its grip upon the threats
of the towns along its route in this State,
been bitter foes of that road.
1t is surprising, even in one 80 young,
that the editor of the H~ateHigsHcer should
allow such silly stuff to get into his col
